# Residents in Mohlakeng in Krugersdorp, Gauteng, took to the streets this morning, blocking roads with burning tyres and debris in protest against rising crime and what they describe as a poor police response to safety concerns. Protesters say slow police response times, inadequate visible policing, and unresolved community complaints, especially related to crime and tensions linked to illegal mining activity, have eroded trust and prompted the action. Authorities are monitoring the situation and working to restore traffic flow.
